I do but I also have my pitchfork ready

Me too. It was the day of the world cup we failed so desastrously that we left the tournament at the bottom of the group. I will never forget that ? This is the most beautiful thing I've read and heard today Are you planning to create a decision tree as well?

That's exactly what I feel! I can remember when I joined this thread about half a year ago and a lot of things we are now certain about were just rumors. And with all the little steps and milestones on this "journey" time moved so fast! It's hard to believe that the reveal of the maybe most anticipated Lego HP stuff this year is so close. I think that's a good opportunity to take the time to thank you all for keeping each other current about newest rumors, leaks and whatever. I really enjoy our discussions and speculations - they definitely help through difficult times! ? As long as it doesn't change the overall look of a set, I'm fine with using different part variations. Sometimes it makes a lot of sense yet to keep the overall price a bit lower ?

That's the plan as far as we know - or, let's say, as it's stated in the second half-year's catalogue ?

I can imagine that it's much cheaper to cut some fabric into specific shapes than to make new plastic molds by injection molding...but I really can't imagine minifigures of Sesame Street's characters without using specific molds ? I heard that the Winnie Pooh Ideas set will get new molds because a Disney series 3 CMF will follow - do you think it's realistic that it happens the same with Sesame Street?

Do you mean the thing about larger family celebrations? He referred to the families Malfoy, Potter-Weasley, Lupin-Tonks and Longbottom-Abbott (according to himself).

I have the feeling that they've shortened the intervals between reveal and release a little bit. So there are more cases in which (large) sets are revealed just one week before their release. Sarcasm on the internet is never a good idea ?

I find it definitely interesting that he now points out exactly what was meant by his vague hints. So the good thing is, we will find out soon if he's fake or not ?

I personally don't expect the reveal to happen this week. But I've been proven wrong so often during the last weeks so one time more or less really isn't the point any more ? And it would be a good thing to be wrong in this case, wouldn't it ?

Don't say that ?

I wonder how much time they've planned for sorting and selecting the questions. Hopefully, this really means that the reveal is very close.

It has indeed been used already, namely in sets 43176 and 302002 which are from the Disney Princess line ?

The AC has finally been revealed! The minifigs we get are the trio, Padma & Parvati as well as Cho ? You can see the images here: https://www.promobricks.de/lego-75981-harry-potter-adventskalender/105289/ Edit: ninja'd

I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be in modular building's size but there is at least the chance to personally modify it ?

That's what I'm planning as well! So the integration of the Leaky Cauldron could really be a thing for that purpose to have an entrance to the Wizarding World in the midst of classic Lego buildings. But I don't have the space for displaying it properly. So does anyone here has a spare three-roomed flat? Incidentally? ?

I hope so! I'm pretty excited about what they're gonna do considering new moulds for the minifigures and which figures they choose to include.

Well, that would at least spare my wallet a little bit because major release dates get pulled apart ? But only if it includes a talking Oscar minifigure as well ?

Yes, you were right. Probs to you, I fell for a false information ? The fact that I have to wait even longer for Sesame Street really bothers me at the moment. A $350 set would have been something we could have expected a lot of... That surprised me as well as they are usually pretty reliable...but ok, they related to a listing on Amazon. Everyone can list products on Amazon so that seems to be another stage of spreading fake news ? So when do you guys expect the set to be released alternatively? In the past, Lego didn't hesitate to bring out two Ideas sets in two months in a row so is there a chance we can already get in in September?

I hope as well that it has to do with a topic I'm not interested in. Ok, the word is out. It will be human scale. You need to have a huge garden to build and display it ?

I agree with you. I always try to recognize at least some details on those grainy pictures but that's just impossible. And kind of exhausting as well. For me, it's painful enough when even the press release images don't show every single detail I want to see ?

Waiiiit - it won't be microscale? ? But the most reliable sources reported it to be Who is Hermine? ? She only appears in the books, doesn't she? Ok, enough sarcasm for tod...let's say for now ? There have been a lot of suggestions here how the DA shops could be arranged. I'm really curious how it'll be finally realized. We may not forget that it must be in a way that is suitable for a box art ?

Set 21323 has already been listed as Sesame Street on Amazon for a very short time. The release date was set to November which would fit into Lego's usual policy that sets are sold exclusively for three months after which they go to a couple of retailers as well.

Same! When do you guys expect it to be revealed? While last year's reveals took place two weeks before the release, the last Ideas set (Pirates) was revealed just one week before. Regarding the set itself, I'm most curious about which minifigures will be included and how they'll be realized.

I guessed that Sesame Street will be the next reveal, followed by Diagon Alley - well...nope ? I wonder how much is going to come in between that hasn't been on my radar so far ? Tail - you lose ? That's another thing which is quite unfair. I can't find any reasonable explanation for those regional price differences. What distinguishs the Netherlands from Germany? Online shop orders are distributed from Belgium, so I suppose retail products are as well? It makes no sense as Belgium is not nearer or farther from either country...

I personally started to believe in images only and not in descriptions any more ??‍♂️ Too random, too unreliable.
